We’re over 6 months into this year and its been nothing but bops and flops from our faves to not-so-faves. Just when we thought the coronavirus pandemic was going to deter us from getting music, Nigerian artistes have shown that the second half of the year is definitely going to packed with a lot of releases.

Some artistes are set to drop new projects later this month and we can already feel the heat. The likes of Burna Boy, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy, Patoranking, DJ Cuppy, fall into this category and fans are super excited and also in a dilemma of whose album to anticipate.

Burna Boy

The self-acclaimed African Giant would be releasing his 5th studio album Twice As Tall on the 14th of July and the Track-list is super packed. The album which is executively produced by American hip hop mogul, Diddy, his mother, Bose Ogulu, and Burna himself features the likes of Chris Martin of Cold Play, Stormzy, Youssou N`Dour, Sauti Sol and Naughty by Nature.

Burna Boy has released the tracklist for his forthcoming album, ”˜Twice As Tall,` which is billed to drop on the 14th of August, 2020. The 15 track album features the likes of American hip hop mogul, Diddy, Coldplay`s Chris Martin, Senegalese icon, Youssou N`Dour, Naughty By Nature, Sauti Sol, and UK-Ghanaian rapper Stormzy. According to a New York Times article about Burna Boy, the album is said to be produced by Diddy, Timbaland, Telz, Rexxie, Leriq, and on. Diddy also makes his presence audible with voice-over intros on some songs, briefly upstaging Burna Boy but he said that the music was about 80 percent complete, including all of the songwriting before he was brought in to provide “fresh ears” and his sense of detail. The album he added, is “a modern but pure, unapologetic African body of work.” #twiceastall #africangiant #burnaboy #afrobeats #afrobeat #afromusic #diddy #newmusic #album #tooxclusive
